Proceeds to benefit Highline Food Bank
Moshier Community Art Center Potters have teamed up with the Highline Food Bank and Discover Burien to bring you Empty Bowls 2010. Empty Bowls events can be found around the country raising money to combat hunger in our communities. Potters have donated bowls to be filled with soup at this fun event…all are invited!
Your $10 (minimum) donation will get you the opportunity to pick out a beautiful handmade bowl, as well as a simple but wonderful meal of soup, bread, dessert and drink; all donated by local businesses. 90% of proceeds go to the Highline Food Bank, which serves over 750 area families per month, and 10% will go to provide art programming for low income youth.

This is a great event. One deserving of community support. As in prior years, Burien Little Theratre will be providing the center pieces (flower arrangements) for Empty Bowls. Come enjoy a meal and help the Highline Food Bank!
This sounds like something good,, I`ll be there.
Where is the highlind food bank, now that I`m back on my feet and recovering from my illness after being off work for 8 months, (I thank God I had some money saved up and never had to ask for help) I have some chow I would like to contribute.
Had a blast and got some great bowls as well. I also was able to volunteer for part of the evening which is always great fun. Nice to see you guys there!
